    I have no deep analysis of any of the games today. I’m long since over feeling good or bad about matchups and wishing for certain opponents. The Brewers have proven quite convincingly that anything can happen in the playoffs, and in the divisional round, you’re always getting a great team, or a hot team, or both. So it all probably doesn’t matter. But I will say that if one goes into an elimination game rolling a starter with a 5.5 era, or a last name that sounds like you’re about to invade Poland, you’re probably going to have a bad time. As such, I’m not liking the juju for either San Diego or New York today. Meanwhile, I know very little about Cleveland or Detroit other than if they make it to the World Series they will have really earned it, so good luck to both of them. And that is my grade school level breakdown of today’s action.

    That is pretty brutal, especially De La Cruz providing the 3rd out by K. But they should still get a few cracks at the Dodgers bullpen to salvage this one, if their own bullpen can hang on, that is.

    And the Cubs and Padres will play tomorrow. Let them burn.

    I have never once gambled on sports. I have my weaknesses like anyone else, but that’s never really been one for me. However, down the stretch this year, I saw the Reds going off at 100:1 to win the pennant, and I thought, you know, they could get hot with some good starting pitching, sneak in, make a run. There’s always a team that does it, what’s the harm of dropping $10 or even a c-note on that? Could be an interesting rooting interest besides the Brewers. So I get it cued up, then say to myself, “wait one night—if you still think it’s a good idea tomorrow, pull the trigger.” Me the next day: And I’m loving that decision. I’m enough of a wreck watching sports already. I don’t need that evil on me.

    LaFleur’s clock management is in fact abysmal, and I don’t see much reason to hope for improvement on that. But as was also discussed earlier, he is such a conservative coach about most of his in-game decisions, too. This is where there should be improvement, because he has demonstrated that he can coach differently: I haven’t looked at this year’s numbers specifically, but the eye test suggests to me he’s still more in line with 2023-2024 than 2020-2022. I have two thoughts. One, he obviously had Rodgers in the early part of his tenure, and when combined with a mostly rock-solid O-line this probably gave LaFleur a lot of confidence to let 12 go get it pretty much whenever he thought it was there for the taking. Love and this current line isn’t on that level—and that’s fine to an extent, but I’d like to see them try and get two or three yards on 4th more often. My second thought, related to the first, is that LaFleur is now gun shy. He seems to be making decisions out of fear of what might happen instead of taking initiative to drive more desirable outcomes, which is what the numbers would also suggest is the right call. I leave it to the reader to decide for themself how much confidence they have in LaFleur ever finding his aggression again. Much may depend on it.

    I am looking forward to not thinking about this team for a week. Eight days ago, I never would have thought that’s where I’d be be right now, but that’s it,
  7. HarveysWBs
    Holy cow. So bad
  8. HarveysWBs
    What a hands catch. Love it.
  9. HarveysWBs
    I wouldn’t want that called on the Packers as DPI
  10. HarveysWBs
    Better late than never I guess, Parsons
  11. HarveysWBs
    Give me a break
  12. HarveysWBs
    I don’t have a problem with how they played that. Three timeouts but very little time left. Dallas is desperately trying to keep them out of the end zone. I thought it was a prudent approach. Love isn’t Aaron Rodgers, and that’s ok.
  13. HarveysWBs
    Fire everybody. Gute, too. This is your trash roster.
  14. HarveysWBs
    No pass rush. So painful. Couldn’t cover Pickens all freaking day.
  15. HarveysWBs
    ****** special teams
  16. HarveysWBs
    Nothing by wrong with Love to Doubs tonight.
  17. HarveysWBs
    Complete frauds
  18. HarveysWBs
    Yeah, this team is supposed to give Philly any sort of trouble in the NFC this year? Philly and Detroit would boat race us even in Lambeau if we played next week. Beating Minny or Chicago at home right now would be a dogfight at best. They are in a bad place.
  19. HarveysWBs
    Well, I guess the defense won’t be bailing anything out tonight then, huh? You can make the case every phase of the team is looking fraudulent.
  20. HarveysWBs
    It’s a stupid rule, and the NFL is full of them. But if they tell you they’re looking for it…
  21. HarveysWBs
    Not getting a lot of payoff from the huge deals to Banks and Hobbs so far.
  22. HarveysWBs
    You know how it was inexcusable that the WR room was allowed to become so bare at the end of the Rodgers era? It’s that inexcusable that they’ve whiffed this badly on the o-line. Yes, no Tom and no Banks is a problem. But they had a whole week to get ready for this, and it isn’t like Dallas is a hellacious defensive front. You can’t pour this much money into things like QB and EDGE and then allow your o-line to be this bad. They’re on the verge of torpedoing a second straight game against a supposedly inferior opponent.
  23. HarveysWBs
    We suck. There is no excuse to be this bad.
  24. HarveysWBs
    Man this team is a tough watch right now. Good thing they don’t need to be a finished product yet, because they have a long way to go.
